I just got into firearms a few years ago so apologies if I mess up on terminology. Feel free to (politely) correct me if I butcher something.
My wife owns a S&W sd40ve and I'm having a ton of fun shooting it but it feels a bit gritty now and then on the trigger. I've been wanting to get into gunsmithing for a while now and I figured I should buy a new trigger group and see if I can polish it without messing it up. I know the theory (I think) about how to do it but I'm wondering if anyone here has done an sd40 trigger specifically and could help me avoid some pitfalls. In a perfect world I want to replace the barrel as well with a slightly longer ported version.
So two questions all in all,
Is a trigger job a good way to get started in gunsmithing or should I start smaller?
And, do you think it's worth changing the barrel to help with flip/muzzle rise? I have pretty bad carpal tunnel (sp?) in both hands from smithing and after 200 rounds my wrists can hurt pretty bad on a foggy day.
Much thanks for any info.
